SFECIFICTION forming part of Letters Patent No. 657,534, dated September 11, 1900.

Application filed April 4, 1900.

To all whom, it may concern:

Be it known that I, MICHAEL HABERLE, a citizen of the United States, residing at New York, (Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and i State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in lWindows;` andI do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it 'appertains to make and use the same. j

This invention has relation to windows, and more particularly to the class having the sash pivoted. or hinged to counterbalanced slides mounted in the easement for vertical movements, and is designed specifically as an improvement on the construction set forth in Letters Patent No. 645,357, granted to me March 13, 1900.

The purpose of the invention is to secure a close joint between the slides and the side stiles of the sash, so as to exclude wind, rain,

snow, and dust, and to improve the connecpivoted thereto, showing the relation ofthe:

parts when the sash is lowered or turned intol an approximately-horizontal position. Fig. 2 is a vertical section of the parts illustrated in Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is atransverse section about"` on the line XX of Fig. 2. j Fig. 4 is a detail perspective view of one, member of the fastening for the swing end of the sash. Fig. 5` is a similar View of the other member.` Fig. 6 is a transverse section on` the line Y Y of Fig. 2. Fig. 7 is a detail perspective view ofthe slide-block, showing a portion ofthe brace applied thereto. Fig. Sis adetail view showing another way of forming the plate which is attached to the upper memberot" the slide-` block. j

Corresponding and like parts are referred` to in the following description and indicated Serial No. 11,522. (No model.)

,in all the views of the drawingsby the same reference characters.

The slide 1 is provided with a longitudinal `slot 2 to receive the block 3, lmounted for sliding movements therein and to which the counterbalanced rope or cord 2O is attached. The sash 4 is pivoted at its lower end to the slide 1 and is limited in its downward movement by the brace 5, which is pivotally connected at one end to the block 3 and at its opposite end to the side stile 6 of the sash 4. A plate or washer 7 is let into the side stile 6 and receives the wear of the screw 8, by means of which the brace 5 is pivotally connected to the said stile.

The hinge-joint between the slide 1 and sash consists of the hinge members 9 and 10 `and the screw 11, the latter constituting the pivot upon which the members 9 and l0 turn and by means of which theslide l and sash are drawn together, so as to preventthe formation between their opposing sides of any appreciable space. The hinge members 9 and 10 are enlarged at their lower or pivotal ends to provide sufficient bearing for the pivot-fastening l1. the outer side of the slide 1 and the member 10 is mortised into the stile 6. The screw 11 has its head countersunk inthe outer side of .the hinge member 9 and its inner end makes screw-thread connection with the stile 6, and ,by a proper adjustment of the screw the opposing faces of the parts 1 and 6 may be drawn more or less closely together.

The sash when closed is held at its swing Aend againstfcasual displacement by means of a fastening comprising complementary men1- bers or parts, one being secured. to the slide and the other to the stile 6. These members are similarly formed, and consist ofplates 12, provided withopenings to receive the screws or fastenings by means of Whichthey are attached to the respective parts with which they cooperate. Each plate is formedwith a facialprojection 13 of wedge form, located centrally at one side, the side or edge portion opposite the projection 13 beingcut away, as shown at 14, to accommodate the projection 13 of the opposite plate when the two members are brought together. The inner ends of the ,projections 13 overhangthe inner ends of the notches or cut-away portions 14 and are bev- The member 9 is let into IOO bers of the fastening together when...closng.

so as to receive the latter when the parts are coupled. One of the plates or membersfthe sash-fastening is provided with an opening or depression 16 and the other plate or member is vsupplied with a spring-actuated ,cate-hx;
